Step By Step Calculation

Step 1: Understand Division Terms

  • Dividend: The number being divided (142).
  • Divisor: The number dividing the dividend (9).
  • Quotient: The whole-number result of division.
  • Remainder: The amount left over after division.

Step 2: Set Up the Division

Calculate 142 ÷ 9 to determine how many times 9 fits fully into 142.

Step 3: Perform the Division

142 ÷ 9=15.777777777778

  • Whole-number quotient: 15 (the number of times 9 fits completely into 142).

Step 4: Verify the Quotient

Multiply the quotient by the divisor to check:

15 x 9 = 135

Step 5: Calculate the Remainder

Subtract this product from the original dividend:

142 - 135 = 7

  • Remainder: 7 (the amount left over).

Final Answer

142 ÷ 9 = 15 R 7

  • 9 fits into 142 exactly 15 times with a remainder of 7.
